Urgent: Save America’s Wild Horses!

In 1971, Congress declared our wild horses and burros an integral part of our public rangelands and ordered the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to care for them as cultural icons. Over the years, the BLM has rounded up tens of thousands of our wild equines, often with cruel methods, and shipped them to tax-funded holding facilities where they are confined for the rest of their lives.

The BLM is again looking to apply the same failed model of round-ups and removals in revised management plans for wild horses out West. These plans must be altered.

If adopted, these management plans would decimate the wild horse population in the Wyoming Checkerboard, a two-million-acre mix of public and private land where nearly half of Wyoming’s wild horses live. This is certainly not the free-roaming vision Congress set out for these majestic animals.

The good news is that you can help! The BLM is accepting public comments through Friday, September 27, on the potentially devastating revisions to Resource Management Plans that will cull wild horses in Wyoming.

It's a BIG Mistake what BLM is doing, they have to leave our Wild Horses to live in their natural habitat, they need their space, they need their FREEDOM, please don't take them away from where they belong,

Just like the Indians/Native Americans wer shuttled off by the federal government when we landed here. It is the same scenario only with the native horse herds left when the Spanish departed and others released horses into the wild when they no longer wanted or needed them. We can't allow the BLM (which is a nightmare in itself) to go unchecked and let money and greed destroy the last of this wild beautiful herds of wild horses. We need wild things in order to live as human beings Please join this fight it is well worth it.
